Fellowships, Scholarships and Grants
For the most up to date information regarding merit-based, academic fellowships and scholarships at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, please contact the Office of Student Fellowships and Research.
This office can provide you with a full listing of nationally competitive fellowships, which fund study and travel abroad, graduate school, or independent research. Examples of nationally competitive fellowships include Fulbright, Watson, and Rhodes, just to name a few. It's never too early to start learning about these programs, what you can now do to strengthen your chances of success, and how the Office of Student Fellowships and Research can assist you in the application process.
Through Student Fellowships and Research, students can also learn about funded undergraduate research opportunities at Bowdoin. Close cooperation with faculty in a research environment can lead to an enhanced honors project, a co-authored paper, and a presentation of your findings at a professional meeting. These experiences will serve you well, particularly if you plan to apply to graduate school or for a nationally competitive fellowship.
In addition to providing information regarding nationally competitive fellowships and research fellowships through Bowdoin, the Office of Student Fellowships and Research's Web site offers a search engine tool through which students can explore a vast database of fellowships, scholarships and grants to individuals to find opportunities tailored to each student's unique needs.
